Hello RVers!
Summer’s end is fast approaching, and kids are heading back to school.
However, there’s a positive side to this change of seasons, because it
also means tailgating season is right around the corner! Sporting events
and tailgating are a great reason to own an RV. It just makes the whole
experience 10 times better! If you have kids involved with sports teams,
imagine taking the team to games with a great 5 th wheel in tow and
celebrating a win afterwards with a barbeque. Or maybe you have a
favorite football team, and would love to see the game, but the distance
and cost for a hotel are too great. An RV is a great way to spend the
night before a big game on the campus or near the stadium of your
favorite team.

Here are some great features that an RV can provide you with this season.

Instructions
1. Combine the melted butter, Dijon mustard, poppy seeds, and
minced onion. Whisk together until well blended.
2. Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Then cut each roll in half.
3. Cut the deli Swiss and ham in half, then fold each piece in half to
make smaller pieces that will fit on the bread.
4. Layer the sliders by starting with one folded slice of Swiss, then a
folded slice of ham, then another Swiss, one more ham, and finally
top with a folded slice of Swiss. So you’ll end up with alternating
layers of 3 folded pieces of Swiss and 2 folded pieces of ham on
each slider.
5. Complete with the rest of the rolls then put them into a baking
dish, arranged tightly together.
6. Spoon the butter mixture on top of each roll, covering each
completely with onions and poppy seeds.
7. Cover with foil and bake for 15 minutes. Remove foil and bake 2-3
minutes until tops are slightly browned.
Notes
A bit more complicated, but a great tailgating dish. These are best
served warm and fresh! Also, the recipe can be doubled/tripled for
larger crowds!

3. Place cooked chicken tenders on the bottom buns and then cover them
in sauce.
4. Combine the mozzarella and Parmesan cheese and sprinkle it over the
sauce.
5. Place the top buns on the sliders.
6. Melt the butter and mix the garlic powder until it is thoroughly
combined. (feel free to add more garlic powder if you like garlic as
much as I do!)
7. Pour the melted butter over the buns and then sprinkle with Italian
seasoning.
8. Cover the dish with foil and bake for 10 minutes, then remove the foil
and continue baking for another 10 minutes.
9. Remove from oven and Eat!

While you’re partying and having fun, it’s important to remember to be
safe too. So be sure to check over these safety tips to have an incident
free time.

Now for some tips to help keep your pets safe and happy!

Be sure your pet is wearing a visible ID/Tag on their collar (or go a step further and have them chipped).

Have a current photo of your pet.

Make sure your pet doesn’t become overheated, and provide plenty of water for them on a hot day

Never leave your pet in a car without air conditioning!

Let your pet out earlier in the day, before all the loud noises and excitement.

Keep your pet away from any flames or fireworks (including sparklers and glow-sticks)

During fireworks, keep your pet inside with gentle music or the TV on for background noise to muffle the blasts from the fireworks.

Give your pet a comfortable place to escape to, i.e. provide them a closet or smaller room with blankets and treats/food

Never leave party supplies laying around where your curious pet could get into them.

Some pets do well with compression shirts to comfort them during times of stress

More pets get lost on the 4th of July than any other day of the year, and lost pets increase by 30% July 4-6. Take note of these tips we provided and your pet will thank you!

GRAND DESIGN 5TH WHEELS WIN 2015 READERS CHOICE GOLD AWARD

“We are thrilled to be the recipient of Trailer Life’s Readers’ Choice Award. This award is humbling because it is voted by RV owners and enthusiasts from all walks of life. There are a lot of strong fifth wheel brands in our business. It is especially humbling for Grand Design to be recognized among all RV companies as the only fifth wheel manufacturer to be the exclusive Gold award winner in the fifth wheel category of the coveted Trailer Life Readers’ choice award,” stated Don Clark, CEO and co-owner of Grand Design RV.

“From the inception of Grand Design RV Company, we have tried to be a different kind of company; A company that is focused on building RVs with the highest quality, most features, finest designs and unparalleled customer support. We focus on what our customers desire instead of simply joining the ‘sea of sameness.’ Along with innovative products that appeal to our customers, we literally spend millions of dollars in quality processes that are unique to our industry. It is great for our Grand Design team members throughout our company to see that their efforts are recognized. Thank you to the best dealers in the business and our growing group of loyal Grand Design customers for helping us achieve this award,” Clark added.

CHICAGO TRIBUNE SAYS INTEREST RATE HIKE COMING IN DECEMBER

Today’s Chicago Tribune reports that a Federal Reserve increase in the interest rate next month is a “near certainty”. It would be the first interest rate increase in nearly a decade. The Fed cut the short-term interest rate that it controls to near zero in 2008 to try to stimulate growth during the recession. Now, with unemployment down to 5%, the Fed is expected to increase rate at their next meeting Dec. 15-16.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR RV LOANS?

Interest rates for RV loans have been at record low levels for so long that it almost seems like the new normal. But we will probably begin to see a return to the much higher pre-recession rates for auto and RV loans. It may happen gradually or it may happen more quickly! This could be the last chance to lock in the current low rates.

RIGHT NOW IS THE SMART TIME TO BUY NEW OR PRE-OWNED RV

If you are a potential first-time RV buyer, now is the time to do it! If you still have an RV with a long term loan at the high pre-recession interest rates, now is the time to trade it in and lock in the current low rates. You may find that you can have a new RV at a monthly payment that is as low as, or even lower than, the payment on your old one. The window of opportunity is closing.
